You have to be careful with the bachelor party - it's best to make sure that it won't cause major problems. The actual duties vary a lot from wedding to wedding, but a lot of it is being the go-to guy when something desperately needs to get done ASAP. And the first toast is pretty common...

That guy who works at Del Taco, I guess. I figure maybe Expert 1, since he seems to be some kind of low-level manager.

We almost always did it like that. The main problem was with keeping the wall between DM and player up - the current DM often was a little stricter than usual with letting sometime-DM players use supplements and such, in order to try to fend off DM's PC syndrome. Unfortunately that sometimes...

What you do is say to the dogs loudly "Oh, you want a BATH?"

So you're saying that in, say, 1870 if someone had asked Maxwell what the coefficient for the time coordinate in the invariant quadratic form was, he would have said "of course, that's the same thing as the speed of light!" Obviously not. There's a little more to knowing that those two constants...

I've always figured sulfur or siloxane chains might go somewhere under the right conditions.

It's very consistent with Einsteinian relativity. That is why light travels in free space at C in SR/GR - light travels at the fastest possible speed, and the fastest possible speed is C. Why the scaling factor between time and space dimensions in the invariant quadratic form is particularly C...

Ah, there's the question though - can't... or won't? - I think they're just lazy.

Sahm, in Romanized script. It's the name of the brightest star in the constellation Sagitta, which makes it easy to find.

Fabricate?

There's some questionabout the constancy of some of them. The Hubble constant and G have both been eyed suspiciously from time to time.

It depends on the constant. Some are well understood, some aren't, but there's always some irreducible quantity back there somewhere.

Maybe his crime was being a werecow.

I think we all belong to the peer group of people who are better than their peers.

We usually only allow supplements after considerable debate. It's a little too easy to get into a situation where player X has all the goodies because he buys the Players Guide to Power Apotheosis.

This is a different one, the first Trans-Neptunian that's probably larger than Pluto. I believe there are now about 7 or 8 total largish ones, Quaoar, Sedna, Orcus, Charon, the three new ones (all of them are pretty hefty), and it looks like there's one other larger than Ceres that hasn't been...

I'm leery of the possibility of its having a satellite called Tenille.

No (natural) nuclear fusion, bigger than Ceres, and not in orbit around another planet. Being near the ecliptic seems to help too. Several moons would easily qualify if they weren't orbiting planets already. I would guess that they'll make an arbitary cutoff at 2000 km diameter, which would...

He was a kind of an icon - it wasn't his being American so much as that he was personally quite sensitive on the issue, and back in the day he was also one of astronomy's most popular figures, sort of an unlikely hero who discovered a (presumptive) planet through a combination of astounding...
